Review titled Dissapointment
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Marion Leach - Posted on 17 July 2024
I had a good experience except for one area. My eyes have adapted themselves to mono vision. This is my second eye to have a cataract surgery This is my distance eye. I had discussed continuing with mono vision at my previous surgery and my consultant at the West Suffolk hospital was happy to do this . This time I asked about continuing with mono vision and was uncomfortable with the way my questions were answered I felt I was being told that's your decision but it's not advised. Then I was pushed to sign the consent form. I asked for more clarification then felt ok with signing the form. I assumed I would have another opportunity to discuss this with the surgeon but he told me he only had information on the eye he was about to operate on This mornings the day after my procedure my eyes are seeing as I hoped.

Review titled Excellent Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Josephine - Posted on 20 July 2024
It was my second cataract and because of my previous experience I was quite relaxed and I wasn’t disappointed. I can’t fault the surgeon. My one small problem was the discharge nurse who spoke so fast and very quietly that I couldn’t understand her properly. Having already had one eye done I knew what I needed to do but had it been the first one I would have had a real problem.

Review titled Excellent and professional service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jean Bull - Posted on 17 July 2024
From the moment I entered into reception until I left, I felt nothing but relaxed and confident as every person I came into contact with “knew their role” and did it courteously and professionally. I came for cataract surgery and skill of the surgeon and supporting team were absolutely excellent, everything explained before and during the process made me feel relaxed and confident. Highly recommended

Review titled Concerns
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by W Maharajh - Posted on 17 July 2024
I have now had both eyes done and it is very clear to me that the approach by the surgeons were different which I believe is the reason I have much better vision in one eye compared to the other. The second surgeon was very thorough in irrigating my eye when removing the lens compared to the ‘conservative’ work by the first one. I could tell this because of the quantity of liquid running down my neck during the second operation. The consequence of this is I have cloudy and blurred vision in the first operated eye. My optometrist when assessing my eye after the 4 week healing period mentioned that there were still small ‘fragments’ of cells left In the eye which I was told could have implications further down the road. It also turns out that the insertion of the lens was not carried out accurately resulting in folding in the posterior capsule? I was made aware of this as I was experiencing streaks of lights when looking at any light source, especially when driving at night. This was confirmed by the optometrist during a revisit to Spamedica. I have been given an appointment for laser treatment which I do hope will cure the symptoms. I was happy with the care I got from the staff at the Colchester clinic. Night driving was an issue I struggled with and I honestly thought that this treatment would improve my night vision. I still wait to see the outcome

Dear Patient, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We pride ourselves on providing a consistent standard of service across all of our SpaMedica hospitals, so we're very sorry to hear that the quality of your experience varied. It sounds like you may be suffering with a condition called Posterior Capsule Opacification in the eye that was initially operated on, which can occur in some patients after cataract surgery. You can find out more information about the condition on our website: www.spamedica.co.uk/treatments/yag-laser-capsulotomy/ We hope your upcoming appointment helps to resolve the issues that you're experiencing. It sounds like you have already had a follow-up appointment with our optometrist to discuss your symptoms, but if you have any concerns in the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact us via contact@spamedica.co.uk or by calling 0330 058 2581 Wishing you all the best, SpaMedica.

good experience no problems with pre treatment but a bit disappointed when I looked at the 2 boxes of eye drops. Pred Forte 1 drop 4 times day right eye (the eye I had the procedure on) and Acular 1 drop 3 times a day left eye(no procedure) !!!! Instructions should bed accurately given I think!!

Very professional and friendly staff. I was pleased with the Cataract surgery received and actually looking forward to returning to have the other eye treated. All areas of the building were spotlessly clean as would be expected.
